Editing Breakfast in America (section)

==Packaging==
The album's front cover resembles an overlook of [[Manhattan]] through an aeroplane window. It was designed by Mike Doud and [[Mick Haggerty]]. The image depicts [[Kate Murtagh]], dressed as a waitress named "Libby" from a diner, as a [[Statue of Liberty]] figure holding up a glass of orange juice on a small plate in one hand (in place of the torch on the Statue), and a foldable restaurant menu in the other hand, on which 'Breakfast in America' is written. The background features the [[Financial District]] within the New York City borough of [[Manhattan]], with the Lower Manhattan skyline represented through a cornflake box, ashtray, cutlery (for the wharfs), pancake syrup bottles, egg crates, salt and pepper shakers, coffee mugs, ketchup and mustard bottles, etc., all spray-painted white. The twin [[World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center]] towers appear as two stacks of boxes, and the plate of breakfast represents [[The Battery (Manhattan)|The Battery]], the departure point for the [[Staten Island Ferry]]. The back cover photo, depicting the band members having breakfast while reading their respective hometown newspapers, was taken at a diner called Bert's Mad House.

''Breakfast in America'' won the 1980 [[Grammy Award for Best Recording Package]], defeating albums by [[Fear of Music|Talking Heads]] and [[In Through the Out Door|Led Zeppelin]], among others.<ref name="Grammy80">{{Cite web|url=http://www.awardsandshows.com/features/grammy-awards-1980-228.html|title=Grammy Award Nominees 1980 – Grammy Award Winners 1980|website=Awardsandshows.com|access-date=9 August 2019}}</ref>
